"L 'referee?I feel sorry for Rocchi, who is living a kind of nightmare.
I don't want to be a fan and come down hard, but the inadequacy of the referees this year speaks for itself." Thus the president of Napoli Aurelio De Laurentiis commented on the microphones of Mediaset the arbitration of Rapuano in the final of Super Cup Persian.
“I spoke to Rocchi this evening and who knows what further embarrassment he will feel. We were here to promote our football and put on a show, but if you leave me with ten men there is no show.
Furthermore, warnings and expulsions will be served in the championship, a further distortion. The Serie A League is its own enemy”, he added.
De Laurentiis also reiterates that he has “contrast this Super Cup because the fans deserve to exalt the national championship and when you play too much you can't add competitions, especially outside of Italy. I believe that from next year, with the increase in matches that UEFA has imposed, this Super Cup should have no reason to exist".
De Laurentiis: “I saw Napoli growing, despite everything”
Then a praise to Saudi Arabia which for the Neapolitan number one shows “a very powerful growth that will become the centrality of the new commercial world.
I saw an incredible place that overshadows Disneyland. That football is a decoy is a very clever thing because they use football to attract”, he concludes.
Speaking about his team, finally, De Laurentiis admits to having seen “a growing Napoli, credit to those who win because football is also chance, but I saw a growing team, that despite the ten men and the absences gave Inter a hard time”.
